Add the rule changes with the cars - the V6 2.0 litre engines and so on and next season is gonna be a strange one I reckon

The strangeness and all the changes of drivers and specifications should make it entertaining. Even though Red Bull are most likely to end up with the best car and dominating things - just a guess given Adrian Newey - the addition of Kimi Raikkonen alongside Vettel should mean a battle within the team too. Kimi is a far better driver than Webber so should provide much greater competition

Wrong way round there mate, Kimi is joining Alonso at Ferrari and Ricciardo is Vettel's push-over.

However, I'm really, really hoping the grid is shaken up. I've hated this season because it's just been soooooo drab and predictable. Domination is bad for any sport but especially F1. For the good of the sport Red Bull need to have a stinker next year, else I'll be turning off anyway!

I've already decided to turn off next year and will be switching off skysportsf1 sometime tomorrow. Really crap season, but still hope to get to a race next season. So much better than watching it on the box

Well if they're going to introduce completely ridiculous rules, here is my vote.

Le Mans style start, with the drivers having to run from their pit garage to their cars. The catch is, you can choose any car! Also the teams can set the cars up however they like, so even if you're the first to reach Red Bull 1 it might have been set up with zero down-force and the KERS button wired to an ejector seat.

I wouldn't say it's boring really, Mercedes had the early advantage but other teams seem to have closed the gap a bit this weekend. Hamilton got away ridiculously clean at the start, like Vettel last year, and just pulled up a massive gap while those in 2nd/3rd/4th were fighting among themselves.

Rosberg got caught in the fight, just taken 2nd place and a long way behind his team mate.

That's 5 out of the top 10 on non-Mercedes engines there, which would tell me the other manufacturers have found something out in testing last week to get better performance. Not quite as good as Mercedes' but catching up.

This year whoever got the best start, in terms of their engineering, was always going to have the advantage and likely go on to win the Constructors, so in that much it's a hollow F1 season but next season when they've caught up a bit and developed more I think it'll be closer.

Bear in mind that last season Mercedes even came out and said they'd given up on the 2013 engines and had pooled all their resources into the 2014 engine, whereas most other manufacturers were still spending alot of money on last years car which was going to be obsolete. They just had the head start, my interest is further down the grid with people like Ricciardo doing alot better than Vettel, Bottas doing better than Massa etc. alot of young/relatively inexperienced drivers doing better than World Champions and vastly experienced drivers

Barely worth my time this season, ultimately all that has changed is which team has the best car. At this rate the double points will just give Hamilton an even larger margin of victory, his DNF in Australia is the only thing maintaining the illusion of a contest.

Similar as others have said with a dominant team, but some big differences from where I'm sitting

The mercs can race, and have done, for some awesome racing and very tense - don't remember that with red bull?Scraps all through the field for most of the race, last year, there was very little, then the odd DRS enabled overtake

The engines do sound weak on the TV, but if the racing continues as it has been, the sound is soon forgotten, plus from what I'm told it's still pretty good at the race itself albeit not what it was.

The only thing that's keeping me interested is the teams letting their drivers race against each other, apart from that there is very little competition. The gulf in class between the teams was highlighted perfectly yesterday, RBR started 3rd and 15th and finished 3rd and 4th.
